FAQ
Is the chapter generator free?
Yes, it is completely free with no signup. Just paste a link.
How do chapters work on YouTube?
Paste the generated list into your description. As long as the first line is 0:00 and you have at least three timestamps, YouTube turns them into clickable chapters.
Does it download the video?
No. We only read the public captions track to detect sections. The video is never downloaded or stored.
What videos work best?
Videos with captions or auto-generated subtitles — podcasts, tutorials, talks and interviews give the cleanest chapters.
